Andrew Airport

The airport was a private aerodrome. While no official reason was published, closures of such small airfields are almost always due to private economic or personal reasons. This can include the owner no longer wishing to maintain the strip, the sale of the land, prohibitive insurance costs, or retirement from aviation activities. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

The site is private agricultural land. Satellite imagery confirms the faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible, but it is unmaintained and appears to be integrated back into the surrounding farmland. The land is not used for any aviation purposes. The buildings on the property appear to be standard farm buildings rather than dedicated hangars.

Andrew Airport was a small, private aerodrome with local significance only. It was not a commercial or municipal airport and had no scheduled flights. Its operations were limited to general aviation, likely serving the aircraft of the property owner and possibly other local pilots. Given its location in a rural, agricultural area of Alberta, it may have also supported agricultural aviation activities like crop spraying. The facility consisted of a single turf runway (approximately 2600 ft / 792 m) and was not equipped with significant infrastructure like a terminal or control tower.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Andrew Airport. As a privately owned strip that has been decommissioned for several years, reopening would require a significant private investment to restore the runway, meet any regulatory requirements, and secure insurance. Given the lack of public demand and the availability of other airports in the region for general aviation, the prospect of it reopening is effectively zero.
